Report: U.S. Aid Funded And Fueled Corruption In Afghanistan

A report has found the US gave billions to Afghan warlords and criminals in a system filled with corruption during efforts to rebuild the country after the war. Here is one of the multi-million dollar villas constructed by the Department of Defense's Task Force in Afghanistan

Two main causes of Afghanistan’s staggering levels of corruption are the sheer volume of aid and lack of oversight, new report by a US Congress watchdog says

From the very beginning of its intervention in Afghanistan, the US sabotaged its own efforts by feeding corruption in the country’s government and the security forces meant to fight the Taliban, according to a new report by a US Congress watchdog.

“Corruption undermined the US mission in Afghanistan by fueling grievances against the Afghan government and channeling material support to the insurgency,” says the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (Sigar) in the report released on Wednesday.

The Talib didn't win the Civil War. They only managed to get control of 92% of Afghanistan, and the "purity" they had when they came charging up the Korrengal, was long gone in deals with the Warlords to get to that point.

Of course, it's not the Talib any more, now it's the Taliban who are winning.

It's been 15 years now for the US, $2.1 trillion paper dollars mortgaged, and 60 more years to go to defeat, or victory.
